Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth.

Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

Who would've thought the billions of tons of heat trapping gases we've released, that took hundreds of millions of years to sequester in the Earth, and took centuries to mine and burn, can't easily or cheaply be re-sequestered back into the Earth; no harm no foul?

It's almost like our absolute ignorance to unknowingly conduct a reckless, unplanned terraform has forced us to be stuck with the consequences for many decades or centuries? Oopsie woopsie!
